The Identium ID-ANT-5CP is a 5 dBi circularly polarised UHF RFID antenna operating at 902–928 MHz, purpose-built for short-to-mid range RFID applications in constrained spaces. Its compact 200 × 200 mm panel form factor makes it the go-to antenna for under-counter retail point-of-sale, desktop RFID kiosks, access control pedestals, and small warehouse check-point portals where a larger antenna panel would be physically impractical.
Circular polarisation ensures tags are read regardless of their orientation — critical in retail where garment tags hang in random directions and at POS where customers present items from any angle. The IP65-rated aluminium housing is suitable for indoor and lightly sheltered outdoor installations. Mounts to standard VESA/wall bracket patterns via the 4 × M4 rear mounting holes.

Recommended Applications
- Retail POS RFID: Under-counter reading of garment and apparel tags during checkout — reads 20–40 items simultaneously within a 0.5m zone.
- Access control portals: Compact pedestals at door entry points reading 125 kHz-format or UHF credential cards at 0.3–1m.
- RFID kiosk / self-checkout: Embedded in self-service kiosk housings where full-size antenna panels do not fit.
- Library RFID check-in: Desktop return pad for book and media identification at service counters.
Compatible with all Identium fixed readers (CX3100, ID-FR8, ID-FR4) and third-party readers with N-Female antenna ports. Request a site survey or sample unit.
Frequently asked questions
What is the 5 dBi ID-ANT-5CP RFID antenna used for?
The ID-ANT-5CP is a 5 dBi circularly polarised UHF RFID antenna for short to mid range reading in constrained spaces. Its compact 200 x 200 mm panel suits under-counter retail point-of-sale, desktop RFID kiosks, access control pedestals and small warehouse checkpoint portals where a larger panel will not fit.
Why does this RFID antenna use circular polarisation?
Circular polarisation lets the ID-ANT-5CP antenna read tags no matter which way they face, which matters at retail point-of-sale where garment tags hang in random directions and customers present items at any angle. A linear antenna of the same gain will miss tags whose orientation does not match it.
Can the ID-ANT-5CP antenna be installed outdoors?
The ID-ANT-5CP has an IP65-rated aluminium housing, so it is suitable for indoor use and lightly sheltered outdoor installations rather than fully exposed positions. This UHF RFID antenna mounts to standard VESA or wall bracket patterns using the four M4 rear mounting holes.
Is this RFID antenna suitable for India, and can I order it in bulk?
The ID-ANT-5CP is specified for the 902-928 MHz band, while India's licence-free UHF RFID band is 865-867 MHz as notified by WPC, so confirm the band variant your site needs before ordering. India RFID Store, a BIS and WPC certified Indian manufacturer, offers bulk and OEM pricing with pan-India shipping.
